I know this question was asked a long time ago, but for those of us who are reading this thread, I'd like to add my experience.

I have had three children, and my earliest symptom has always been an earache (always my right ear). By the time I got to my third pregnancy, I knew I was pregnant several days before I could test. Unfortunately, my ear hurt the entire time I was pregnant. After I delivered, it went away.

Symptoms are different for every woman, and this is definitely not a typical symptom of pregnancy, but it can happen. Regardless, you should have this type of ailment checked out by a doc because it is likely due to illness, not pregnancy.

I now suspect I am pregnant with #4. We are TTC and my right ear is killing me.

i know this topic hasn't been commented on for a few weeks, but i wanted to share my experience. My ear started aching last night, and by 2 am I was in so much pain that I knew I needed to go to the ER. I tried everything to ease it, olive oil, peroxide, etc, nothing worked. We went to the ER this morning, and it turns out that not only do I have an ear infection, but also a perforated ear drum. Blood and fluid keep coming out of my ear, but now i'm taking antibiotics and high strength tylenol and its getting a little bit better.

All I can say is-- get to the hospital when you start to feel pain in your ear! You can't sleep through the night anyway and it might be something more serious like in my case.
